Dynamics of Perturbed Relative Equilibria of Point Vortices on the Sphere or Plane
The system of point vortices on the sphere is a Hamiltonian system with symmetry SO(3), and there are stable relative equilibria of four point vortices, where three identical point vortices form an equilateral triangle circling a central vortex. These relative equilibria have zero (nongeneric) momentum and form a family that extends to arbitrarily small diameters. Using the energy-momentum meth...
متن کاملDispersion and Deposition of Micro Particles over Two Square Obstacles in a Channel via Hybrid Lattice Boltzmann Method and Discrete Phase model
Dispersion and deposition of aerosol particles over two square cylinders confined in a channel in laminar unsteady vortical flow were investigated numerically. Lattice Boltzmann method was used to calculate fluid characteristics and modify Euler method was employed as Lagrangian particle tracing procedure to obtain particle trajectories. Drag, Saffman lift, gravity, buoyancy and Brownian motion...

*** Missing author *** ptical vortex traps created from helical modes of light can drive fluid-borne colloidal particles in circular trajectories. Concentric circulating rings of particles formed by coaxial optical vortices form a microscopic Couette cell, in which the amount of hydrodynamic drag experienced by the spheres depends on the relative sense of the rings’ circulation. Tracking the pa...
متن کاملWake-mediated synchronization and drafting in coupled flags
A recent experiment has shown “inverted drafting” in flags: the drag force on one flag is increased by excitation from the wake of another. Here we use vortex sheet simulations to show that inverted drafting occurs when the flag wakes add coherently to form strong vortices. By contrast, normal drafting occurs for higher-frequency oscillations, when the vortex wake becomes more complex and mixed...

Concentric circulating rings of particles formed by coaxial optical vortices form a microscopic Couette cell, in which the amount of hydrodynamic drag experienced by the spheres depends on the relative sense of the rings’ circulation.
